Our second stop was Terni. Since in Vicenza the combined heat and humidity was almost unbearable and nothing seemed to work against them, we decided to go down to Emanuel's parents in Umbria. They live near to Terni, the place is called Stroncone. Of course you can ask: "It is more to the South, isn't there warmer? Why do you go there?" The answer is simple: Stroncone is around 700 meters above the sea level. While in Vicenza (and in Hungary) there were 40 degrees, we were sleeping under 2 covers during the night! From the garden you can see the middle age town. Isn't it unbelievable that poeple still live in these houses? If during the day it became too hot, we put water in the small swimming pool and we had a refreshing bath. After the afternoon siesta we ate our well deserved gelato!! What a life......to be cont.

We can say with peace in our hearts, that this summer wasn't monotone for us. With the arrival of the heat, on a Saturday we found ourselves at the beach of Jesolo. We wanted to make a surprise for the kids. We havent even put down the bags, when Samuele started to throw sand on himself, 2 minutes later his mouth and eyes were full with it. Also ours... Giacomo had eyes wide open, he didn't know where to look, he was looking for the swimmingpool. When he saw the sea, he said very silently: "WOW!" His only disappointment was that he couldn't drink the seawater as he does it at home in the bathtub. He said this one doesn't taste that good...

For 4 years we have been trying to keep our everyday life written. The traditional diary, the electric journal all had a bad ending...We start this blog hoping that this way something will be kept for ourselves, and at the same time our loved ones far away from us, our friends - and also You - regurarly receive news from us. Let's start it...
